On this page, you will find the characteristics of CFS quackery.
One cannot want CFS to be accepted by the medical community and
also support CFS quackery (health fraud, pseudo-medicine).
Note that the sceptic view of CFS ('CFS is just an
FD')
is that the disease is promoted
by quack doctors that just want to sell products to 'customers'
that suffer from psychosomatic symptoms, and therefore tell them
that they have a physcial disease.
The truth is that
1) there is no test for CFS,
2) there is no therapy for CFS, and
3) biological alchemy
is not the same thing as biomedical research.
Patients should realize that any belief system, among quackery,
takes a lot of energy.

In Memoriam

This page is dedicated to patients that were sacrificed in quack rituals
without even be aware of it - and lost their lives, or became terminally
or mentally ill.

In the 1646 book 'Pseudodoxia Epidemica', Sir Thomas Browne used the word
'quacksalver' to describe what we would now call a quack doctor.
'Quacksalver' means a person who makes meaningless noise ('quack') about
his cure-all ointments ('salve').

'Some makers of various dietary supplements and herbal remedies claim these
substances have potential benefits for people with chronic fatigue
syndrome, but the effectiveness of these substances for treating the
condition hasn't been proved in controlled studies. Though a product may
be of "natural" origin, that doesn't ensure its safety. Dietary
supplements and herbal preparations can have potentially harmful side
effects and may dangerously interfere or interact with prescription
medications. Talk to your doctor before using any unprescribed remedy.'

Origin of Quackery.

|
|
|
Herakles, protector of Mankind

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Brooch of Helena Blavatsky with
three Omega's,
Swastika,
Star of David (Seal of Solomon), and the snake swallowing its own tail.

Catch
|
The hidden drawback is that one must observe Egyptian mysticism within a
Greek context.
.
Orthos was decapitated by Herakles representing the constellations
Canis Major
and
Canis Minor,
the hounds of Orion.
In Greek astrology, Canis Minor does not exist.
In Egypt, these constellations are called
Ape
and
Sebak
(baboon and crocodile).
Ape and Sebak correspond to the deities
Thoth and Horus.
The 'Eye of Horus' is the variable star
Gomeisa
in Canis Minor.

Analogies
|
The same approach is also present in...
- Radical gay community.
- Alcoholics Anonymous and Weight Watchers.
- Radical liberal ('yellow') political parties (where yellow
refers to the planetary colour of Mercury).
'Radical' refers to both conservative (libertarian)
and progressive (tolerant) varieties.
...illustating that there is no link between this scenario and
medicine.

Occult
|
The occult is true.
Satan (Lucifer: the Light Bearer) wants Man to be enlightened by the
occult; God wants Man to be ignorant.
|
The occult is false.
God wants Man seeking the truth; Satan is deceiving Man.
Jesus talked about salvation from the occult through religion,
not through enlightment by the occult.
|
Replacing the occult by the facts.
Man must discover what is true and what is false.
The devotion to the occult is characteristic for a psychiatric disorder.
